(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Worked on the Great Man-Made RIver Project for a year or so.
Not as bad as everyone makes out in Tripoli at least. We ahve offices all over the place. No trouble with religion, theft etc. No drinking - officially! But ways and means...
Fair few Roman sites to visit, etc., so a bit to do on Fridays.
Don’t know about the downturn but it probably doesn’t apply.
PM if you want more details of life out there
Cheers

the company I work for has a branch there since more than 30 years with some hundreds of employees. There are many projects in Libya.
Problem for us is more the lack of qualified persons than a lack of projects.

Regards
